  1. The authorities at *checks notes* the Ag site have pronounced the accused as not a Groyper, noting just how many citizens shared the accused's name and therefore he is a leftist. (my very shortened summation) There seems to be some disagreement regarding the online game and fascism interpretations. Kind of like how the very old (in modern news cycles) discussions about Antifa used to go. (Antifa is fascist! No, it means antifascist! No they just think they're antifascist, they are really fascist, for example) Another one outlined a very elaborate explanation with the arrows that were scribed on the ammo; it took some time I'm sure:
  2. Before Elmo reinstated him to Twitter, Fuentes had migrated to Gab, whose CEO knows a thing or two about being deplatformed in that his hellsite had that happen after the synagogue shooting in 2018. After banging around for a couple of years, Gab gained users and money after Jan. 6th and has managed to stay afloat ever since. Nothing of consequence will happen to Nick, it never seems to with these types.
  3. Apologies. It's been a long week. Back on topic: given what we know thus far, which admittedly is not much, what next? More info about the roommate?
  4. You are watching Fox News right now aren't you because that is exactly what they are doing.
  5. Now you've done it; isn't she the love of @Brisketexan prior to Selena Ward and his wife?
  6. This is the word of the day apparently. Honestly, if and when we the public get the whole story regarding this event, and despite the push and pull over ideologies and rhetoric, the personal biases, the monetization, the glorification, the inroads one group or another makes in their pursuit to power, the truth will be nuanced to those who understand that life when lived is never as simple as alive or dead except when it is. Not sure that made sense except in my own mind......deep thinking by Mrs. Whiggins.
  7. THAT was what was so surprising when I read the wiki article. I mean the online sites (aside from sports boards) where I spend time are predominately female and I had little idea that the furry fandom skewed male and frequently featured explicit sex. The wiki did mention that the fandom has changed somewhat, perhaps given that more females have entered online communities (in spite of gamergate etc).
  8. That's a part of it. Here is a long wiki article about the community: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom I hang out online in some spaces and so I've encountered artistic younger people who would fit the category, but not enough to know all the in-jokes, terms, and the like. The bullet inscription seems (on the surface) to be more derogatory, almost like a gamergate type of slur towards the interest but I'm not a groyper and I'm old so what do I know?
  9. Yesterday about 10+ pages ago I pointed out something similar about mourning and death and scored a neg; some folks just wanna be big mad and hate the whole world. Meanwhile, it keeps on turning.
  10. I actually knew the song (Heck I think I even posted a YT video version in the Music thread ages ago) but the gamer stuff I did not know--no surprise there.
  11. I don't know w/o going back and rereading if anyone posted that the student was a 'plant,' as far as I know she was a legitimately registered A&M student enrolled in the summer course for credit. I do think the student (and if I recall correctly there was more than one initial complaint in the first(?) week of class) went up the chain (as one should do after consulting with the instructor) and then as this issue was discussed outside of those directly involved and time passed either acting alone or with encouragement achieved the desired result; the instructor was removed from teaching the class permanently. This was likely the way it was going to go from the outset and I do know I stated as such. However, I'm not sure where a lawsuit would've come in exactly? As a lecturer, that professor had no protections beyond the minimum for employment; I was not aware whether the student entertained a legal remedy but it wouldn't make sense to me to do so. But I'm not close enough nor familiar enough with the situation nor the law to know.
  12. No one is as marginalized as white males. This is all the liberal leftists' fault that he knew how to go online and educate himself on how to solve problems. Did you try r/conspiracy? They seem pretty smart with math and aliens and important dates in history.
  13. According to the ag forum, the accused (based on who they think was apprehended) is a card carrying member of the Communist Party.
  14. Considering that tossing citizens and others into vans to be taken to facilities out of the public eye was already believed to be okay, this should come as no surprise. An etiquette for killing is something humans have been negotiating for much longer than our lifetime.
  15. w/o getting political, nuance is under-rated. Perhaps it goes hand-in-hand with critical thinking and maturity, but then again the young were (are?) often the ones who would notice and point out the generational inconsistencies and failings of their elders pronounced 'wisdoms.' It is interesting how experience and environment and age shape and mold humans. Looking at the world at large with a very *binary viewpoint from adolescence onward (no matter how 'easy' it might be) seems like such a limited existence given the human lifespan. It seems to contradict everything about being human at all with respect to survival and cooperation and society. With respect to society specifically, it smacks of the 'know your place' pronouncement one hears whether overtly or subconsciously by those in power. *binary as in either/or, not sex and gender
  16. I saw this news yesterday when I was on a different site and thought 'wow, this dude is a lucky lucky man when it comes to timing.' Maybe not so much lucky with respect to committing crime, but lucky with the news cycle.
  17. In addition, there were speakers amplifying the talk so if one's attention is directed towards the stage, it isn't it more likely to be the person(s) facing the crowd who have the most opportunity to witness anything and perhaps connect a sound with a visual anomaly?
  18. A headline we'll never seen anytime soon... Organized Crime Syndicate Infiltrates and Dismantles Key Agencies Used In Prosecuting Illegal Activities: "We Are Expending All Of Our Effort In Apprehending The Perpetrator(s)" key spokesperson vows.
  19. Well before the regime took office for the first time, organized religion was on the decline and the big 3 professional sports (admittedly sports in general) was supplanting it as its own sort of religion, and I would argue supplanting it at a greater pace than evangelistic Christianity. The rituals, the pageantry, and more and more the growing 'causes' interlinked with each game, each team, each player. No wonder that as sports were viewed as being culturally and socially groundbreaking, they were also the literal battlefields for power plays and wars within society about what was "proper and good." With every debate about which coach should be fired or QB benched came the other discussions and y'all know those but the foot soldiers in these battles are the overarching organizations that reinforce what it means to 'be' and live in America by showcasing and reinforcing the ideals the Oval Office wants. Through advertising, through celebrations and/or memorials etc. Money and power are the weapons used for and against, same as it ever was.
  20. Similar perhaps, but I don't think these accounts should be doing this because it's not close enough nor a good enough match and the harassment innocent people receive once these types of "pairings" and speculations occur is horrific. I posted something in the CR where a 77 year old Toronto banker was declared the shooter yesterday when people mismatched his photo with scenes of the elderly person arrested yesterday.
  21. When topics are derailed on this board, I usually shrug or am the offender, although some of the hand slapping fights between known agitators and their opponents get old. But someone doing what you describe in that type of setting--LinkedIn, professional accts, etc and I seriously question their mental fitness--in terms of them losing their sense of appropriateness and rationality. It's as if the propaganda has taken up so much mental space in their thoughts that they cannot let it go and it bleeds over into every waking moment/utterance. We've talked about that on this forum with various users describing their parents when they go home for the holidays, but people like you describe are not retired, perhaps even home-bound elders. It's weird, really weird.
  22. SIAP but that whole patchatouli manifesting things sure makes one think the simulation is completely messing with us: The article by feminist blogsite Jezebel below was posted online on September 8th; they've since put a disclaimer on it, but daaaang. https://www.jezebel.com/we-paid-some-etsy-witches-to-curse-charlie-kirk The article continues and it's a little long, but I'll spoiler the rest...
  23. What's the name of that other, less well known influencer? Pool? Cheong? Can't recall which one it was but he got his start promoting progressive ideas and almost starved to death, flipped the switch and said he was 'converted' (I am skeptical) and the cash poured in as twitter was on the ascent back then. Met the devil at the crossroads I guess.
